Teen killed after crashing motorcycle into SUV at 170 mph in St. Ann

Fortunately, the driver of the SUV was unharmed when the bike hit  the side of the SUV and caved it in. Sadly, the news report does not include photos of the SUV or the bike. Because those would be *really* interesting. The Mitsubishi Outlander, it seems, must be reasonably well built to protect the drive from an impact like this, though it may be that a hypothetical passenger would have been severely injured or killed (and quite possible shot into the driver).

I suspect that photos of the bike rider would also be interesting, though quite possible difficult to comprehend out of context. 170 mph to zero in a couple feet probably did some interesting things to him. (Note: the evidence that he was actually doing 170 mph is pretty weak, but he was clearly going way too fast.)

Ooops, here were go, some footage showing the machinery involved:
